Abstract

In this study, the karyological features of three species Mesobuthus eupeus and Mesobuthus gibbous was investigatedfrom the family Buthidae and Euscorpius (Euscorpius) aladaglarensis from the family Euscorpiidae, ranging in NiğdeProvince. As a result of karyological studies, it was determined that the diploid chromosome number of Mesobuthus eupeus,Mesobuthus gibbosus, and Euscorpius aladaglarensis as 2n= 20, 28 and 88 respectively. Two buthid species have holocentricchromosomes, while the euscorpiid species has monocentric chromosomes. During first meiotic division, we observedmultivalent in one male of E. aladaglarensis.
